以下是引用leeon在2004-8-2 10:58:00的发言:
注意A中的表述是unusually large ,也就是计算的时候是按通常的盐加入的速率计算的,也就是说计算时将速率低估了,得到的时间当然应该比实际的多。
原文中reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state,并没有说河水加盐减去生物耗盐得到初始的浓度。只有假设了生物耗盐的速度如E才能the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans can be accurately estimated
by taking the resulting increase in salt levels in the oceans over the past hundred years and then determining how many centuries of such increases it would have taken the oceans to reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state
管你盐是怎么来的,我只计算海水里的盐增加量就足够了(就是已经包括河水加盐减去生物耗盐的可能,所以E错)。但如果过去几百年河水盐unusually多了,海盐增加量当然比以前unusually高,把这个几百年里unusually高的增加量不恰当的推广到整个历史时期里,算出来的时间当然比真实时间的短。
